When the season began for the Carolina Hurricanes last Thursday in Winnipeg, the expectations outside the team were that they would be a scrappy bunch who would be in the playoff hunt all season, but probably fall just short. After three games, it’s easy to see why. Thus far, Carolina has proven to be an inconsistent group, unable to put together a full 60 minutes of hockey. Unfortunately, that means the list of things that are working is just as long as the list of things that aren’t.
Three things that have gone well:
- Scoring – This hasn’t been an issue for the Canes, as they scored four goals in the loss to the Jets and another three in the loss to the Canucks.
